I didn't think you had any intentions, I think I was just tired of being attacked that day and let my emotions get to me, forgive me.
As to being killed. I have put my life on the line many times for my moneys. Being robbed at gunpoint is to me no different than handling a nuclear fuel cell. No different than going into a torpedo tube to do some work. When you go into a torpedo tube...you'd better know how to check that the safety devices are correctly installed and the hydraulic system shut, isolated, and tagged out. If you don't ..the torpedo tube can close on you and crush you in half or to death. It is just the facts of the trade. Same with a missile tube on a submarine..they close quickly and quietly. You need to know that the safeties are installed and then commit to going inside one to work.

I don't care if nukes exist or not, really! If they do the only way you will ever truly know is when you see one detonate live. Then it will be a living experience that you will be able to honestly witness to. Everyone is so willing to say they are positive, without the only proof that can actually prove it to one's self.
You can do all the math, all the sound experiments, all the handling of New and Spent rods, all the "ore" ordering, all the bomb casings and Enola Gays, meet every witness, sift the ashes of bomb sites, react with nerves of steal, recite the declaration surrendered of Japan, even be targeted "center mass", but it will never change the fact that you have not personally witnessed a detonation of such a devise.
I hope you're never on a jury
No matter the evidence if you didn't actually see the crime, the person must be innocent.

So you only believe in things you've witnessed personally?
So dinosaurs are a hoax...and other galaxies...and the Roman Empire, Siberia, electrons and Angelina Jolie...
But hey, just because you see an explosion yourself, how do you know it's REALLY nuclear? Maybe they just cheat and use antimatter. Or maybe you've been hypnotised and it's all CGI...
